   the same version of rpm.

   5. Conflicts with:
   Packages that are linked with rpm-2.5.x libraries. This includes
   rpmfind, rpm2html, gnorpm, and kpackage. You will need to upgrade to a
   version of these packages that have been linked with rpm-3.0.x
   libraries.
   
   6. RPMs required:
   
   Intel:
   
   [13]ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/i386/
   
   [14]rpm-3.0.2-6.0.i386.rpm
   [15]rpm-devel-3.0.2-6.0.i386.rpm
   
   Alpha:
   
   [16]ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/alpha/
   
   [17]rpm-3.0.2-6.0.alpha.rpm
   [18]rpm-devel-3.0.2-6.0.alpha.rpm
   
   SPARC:
   
   [19]ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/sparc/
   
   [20]rpm-3.0.2-6.0.sparc.rpm
   [21]rpm-3.0.2-6.0.sparc.rpm
   
   Source:
   
   [22]ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/SRPMS
   
   [23]rpm-3.0.2-6.0.src.rpm
   
   7. Problem description:
   This release of rpm is intended to permit all Red Hat platforms to use
   the same version of rpm.
   
   8. Solution:
   Upgrade to the latest errata release of rpm by downloading the correc
   rpm and rpm-devel packages for your architecture and version of Red
   Hat Linux.
   
   You should install the packages by typing (assuming Red Hat 6.0/i386)
   rpm -U rpm-3.0.2-6.0.i386.rpm rpm-devel-3.0.2-6.0.i386.rpm
   
   If you are upgrading from rpm-2.5.x, you should then type
   rpm --rebuilddb
   because the database format has changed in rpm-3.0. (Note: if you
   decide to reinstall rpm-2.5.x, you should also type "rpm --rebuilddb"
   after reinstalling rpm-2.5.x in order to convert the database format
   back t the form used by rpm-2.5.x).
   
   If you use rpm to build packages, please note that the method of
   configuring rpm has changed. The commonest configuration problem
   encountered by packagers who upgrade is how to set topdir to something
   other than /usr/src/redhat:
   
   In rpm-2.5.x, you would put the following in ~/.rpmrc topdir:
   /path/to/your/directory/here
   
   In rpm-3.0.x, you should put the following in ~/.rpmmacros %_topdir:
   /path/to/your/directory/here
   
   9. Verification:
 MD5 sum                           Package Name

   tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command: rpm
   --checksig --nopgp
